Passing Complexion
She was his
She would take his children
Black and white
Right to her own breast
There were times
When he could mix
With ordinary white company
Though?? the subject never came up
No one would notice
He had what they call passing complexion
He had what they call passing complexion
He had what they call passing complexion
He had what they call passing complexion
He'd been white, he'd been black
They asked him, black like that?
Yeah!
Tez Passante
Ela era dele
Ela levaria seus filhos
Pretos ou brancos
Como para seu próprio seio
Haviam tempos
Nos quais ele poderia se misturar
Com a companhia branca comum
Mas se o sujeito sequer aparecesse
Ninguém perceberia
Ele tinha o que eles chamam de Tez Passante
Ele tinha o que eles chamam de Tez Passante
Ele tinha o que eles chamam de Tez Passante
Ele tinha o que eles chamam de Tez Passante
Ele tinha sido branco, ele tinha sido preto
Eles perguntaram pra ele: Preto assim?
Sim!
